There will be
several keynote lectures introducing the national capacity of both
India and Canada in the areas of critical importance to environment
and vector-borne disease modeling: national priorities, disease surveillance,
data sharing and bioinformatics, statistical analysis and mathematical
modeling. There will be a few talks presenting the current status
of collaborative research in West Nile virus, lymphatic filariasis
and avian influenza, there will also be some exchanges of on-going
projects on the roles of mathematcal modelling in the real-time response
and management of emerging vector-borne diseases.
The symposium will be organized in a relatively unstructured fashion,
so each plenary and invited lecture will be followed by a mediated
group discussion. There will be less formal lectures than usual
workshops to allow participate to form groups to discuss potential
collaborations.
Tentative Agenda
Day 1: Surveillance and modeling environmental impact on health
Day 2: Modeling capacity for disease control and emergency response
Day 3: Bioinformatics and in-hosting dynamics
